Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Reconnaissance Tower, The Secret of the Zombie Tide Gate!A delicate spinning wheel appeared in front of Lin Feng.

The patterns on it all emitted a faint purple glow, giving them a deep and mysterious appearance.

【Drawing in progress…】

The wheel spun rapidly, and the patterns within it took on a unique allure.

【Congratulations! You have obtained an Epic Blueprint!】

【Reconnaissance Tower!】

Lin Feng was momentarily taken aback, unsure of what this was, as he had never encountered such a blueprint before.

The blueprint depicted something resembling a watchtower, but in a fleeting moment, it also looked like an ivory tower.

【Level 1 Reconnaissance Tower】

【Power Consumption: 20 units/day】

【Reconnaissance Range: 20 square kilometers】

【Materials required for upgrade: 5000 units of building materials, 500 units of steel, 100 white crystal stones or 10 yellow crystal stones, 1 blue crystal stone.】

Lin Feng looked at the description and felt that the functions of the reconnaissance tower blueprint were not clearly explained, making it seem somewhat useless.

However, Lin Feng didn’t hesitate and decided to unlock it.

After all, it was an epic blueprint, definitely worth using for himself. Given his current strength, there was no need to trade the reconnaissance tower blueprint for anything else, as no one could offer something that would tempt him.

“Confirm unlocking the reconnaissance tower blueprint!” Lin Feng mentally communicated with the system.

The blueprint in Lin Feng’s hand vanished instantly.

【Opening the defensive structures construction interface…】

【Basic Machine Gun Tower…】

【Basic Reconnaissance Tower exchange resources: 2000 units of building materials, 200 units of steel, 20 white crystal stones.】

Lin Feng didn’t have these resources on hand, so he had to purchase them through the world trading channel.

By now, people had started to realize the importance of these items, so it wasn’t as easy as the first time when Lin Feng could trade a small amount of food for them.

Finally, Lin Feng purchased the 2000 units of building materials and 200 units of steel he needed for 20 white crystal stones.

“Confirm the construction of the reconnaissance tower!” Lin Feng mentally communicated with the system.

【Constructing reconnaissance tower…】

【Construction completed. Please select the placement location (must be a designated spot).】

In Lin Feng’s vision, several glowing circles appeared around the Zombie Tide Gate, resembling designated rings for installing defensive towers.

Lin Feng leaped directly from the second floor, landing with a buffer that left him unscathed. Even the wine in his right hand didn’t spill from the glass.

He walked to the farthest glowing circle from the Zombie Tide Gate and mentally commanded, “Confirm installation of the reconnaissance tower!”

【Reconnaissance tower has been set up.】

Before Lin Feng, a towering structure suddenly appeared, exuding a sense of advanced black technology.

Looking at the tower, Lin Feng thought it seemed like a technological marvel that didn’t belong in this world.

【Your reconnaissance tower has been set up. Please connect it to a power source as soon as possible!】

Lin Feng didn’t hesitate and immediately had Zhang Cheng bring over the electrical wires.

Soon, power was flowing into the towering reconnaissance tower.

【Ding Dong】

【Hello, Survivor Lin Feng. You have successfully unlocked the reconnaissance tower. Scanning in progress…】

【Within the reconnaissance range, there are 10,325 ordinary zombies, 1,291 Tier 2 zombies, 251 Tier 3 zombies, 21 Tier 4 zombies, and 1 Tier 5 zombie!】

【The number of zombies that will attack your Zombie Tide Gate next time: 1,046 ordinary zombies, 103 Tier 2 zombies, 13 Tier 3 zombies. This constitutes a Tier 4 horde attack difficulty. Please be prepared for defense.】

【Note: You have not yet attracted the attention of the Tier 5 zombie in your vicinity. It will not attack you for the time being.】 S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ɴøᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Then, a map appeared in Lin Feng’s mind. It was the map he had previously unlocked, showing two bright points: one for his shelter and the other for the ruined hospital.

Now, additional bright points appeared around his shelter.

White dots represented the positions of ordinary zombies, yellow dots indicated Tier 2 zombies, blue dots for Tier 3, and purple dots for Tier 4.

Lin Feng noticed another distinct color.

There was a red dot, which must represent the Tier 5 zombie.

His breath caught; this was a truly formidable threat.

This reconnaissance tower not only predicted where the next zombie attacks would occur but also provided alerts on the positions of zombies outside.

Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed.

He could clearly see that the closer to the Zombie Tide Gate, the denser the distribution of zombies.

Outside the Zombie Tide Gate was a surging tide of zombies, but the zombies on the outskirts were sparse and scattered.

It was as if the Zombie Tide Gate was a honey pot attracting bees, drawing countless zombies towards it!

Lin Feng’s expression tightened.

This meant that the outside world didn’t have as many zombies as there were around the Zombie Tide Gate.

In other words, it was possible to go out and explore for resources!
